Chlamydia can make women infertile, but this is a risk, not a definite outcome. See your doctor!!!

I know that in Australia, our secondary level students are taught often by people who are not mathmeticians, and that causes our higher level maths to falter. My impression of the US is that your...

Vodka is pretty much just ethanol and water so the only calories you get from vodka are from the ehtanol (which return as much calories per gram ingested as carbohydrates) Mon, 28 Dec 2009 21:32:31 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8566678 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8566675 How do I lower my cholesterol?<br /><br />Depends on how come you have high cholesterol. If you eat a high fibre and low saturated fat diet and are not overwieght and still have high cholesterol, you may be genetically predisposed to high cholesterol and only medication may help. Otherwise, if you are like most of us - you need to... Mon, 28 Dec 2009 21:30:44 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8566675 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8566663 Where is Auntie Em? Has she quit AB because she was angry? Is she dead? Has she changed her AB name? Does anyone know?<br /><br />Last I heard Auntie Em was off here, and that was a good year ago (although I will add that I have been a very occassional visitor myself in that past year - so I am not the most up-to-date font of knowledge!).

Why? Is it really illegal for restaurants?<br /><br />If you were in Australia that would be odd, our drinking legal age is 18. If you are in the US, it is well known in other coutries that your limit is 21. 21 is 21 whether you are in a bar, bottle shop or restaurant.

Luckily you created a time machine, In an attempt to save the human race, what would you do?<br /><br />Probably top myself. I doubt anything I could do that was related to time travel would actually make people any smarter as a group or work together any better than we currently do. Thus the future would be the same no matter what you do - we are, as populations, not really interested in working...

I prefer boot leg pants as I wear steel cap boots to work. I also don&#039;t wear my nicest pants as I work in a dirty wet area and don&#039;t want...

Shoul I try contacting him?<br /><br />No. Try going out and meeting some new people or getting some new interests. This man is in your past now, leave him there.

Hard answers or the &#039;truth&#039; are not often what people really want to hear.

I grew to love chemistry. You don&#039;t need to be a &#039;chemist&#039; to make use of chemistry, you could get into sceintific sales, food science, biology, biochemistry, teaching, research and much much more.

I think people like to complain in general! Otherwise, sometimes people on the floor doing a job can see a better way to do it, but don&#039;t always realise that a better way might be more expensive or just plain not feasible to work out.

If you planted whole potatoes with no eyes you would get no potatoes. You can grow potatoes from peels that have eyes. :) I have just got some potatoes starting to grow right now in fact. If you want more potatoes from your plant cover up the shoots...

Even then I was not allowed to stay up too late. I could set my own bedtime when I was 16-17, as late as I wanted on weekends. I think it was sensible. I did used to be allowed to read as long as I wanted, as long as I was in bed.

Sometimes it is like seeing interesting gossip but other times I cannot be bothered.

Thus 3 from 10 is 30 from 100 = 30%. Fri, 13 Mar 2009 03:30:01 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5902321 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5902312 What frightens you as you walk through a day? Please be as honest a possible!<br /><br />I scare myself. I have bad nightmares. I also have way too vivid an imagination and worry like nothing else. Exclusive of the day, I am not really keen on the dark (outside).

You catch more flies with honey I reckon. I reckon it does not hurt to be nice and polite and it gets you further than being an arsehole. I like to be even nicer to people who hate it as they cannot understand it (killing them with kindness!). :) Fri, 13 Mar 2009 03:08:39 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5902207 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5902185 Do you like, tolerate, or hate people who smoke cigarettes?<br /><br />I don&#039;t really have an opinon in that way. I am a smoker, but I am an adult as are all the smokers I know. Adults can make their own decisions (stupid or not!).

They just show different sides of their personality in different situations. Some people are liars and act in certain ways that manipluate others, but that it still them. Some people are harsh and always say what they think is the truth, that is them...

No one is perfect, and some girls are over and above fussy. Some girls live to change guys (I would have to say though, that, a lot of guys seem to need mothering and constant attention which is hard!). I think we all need to understand that we are different to each other,...

No harm in that. Although I would tend to avoid showy materialistic people, but an abundance of jewellery does not necessarily equal a materialistic person.

That's it just like that, she goes to the boss and says it was her idea. What should I do?<br /><br />Catch her out and tell the truth (when you can prove it). Your manager will not know unless you tell them, but you need definitive proof and not sound like you are whinging (hard to do). Also, keep your ideas to yourself! Present them to the manager in person before you talk about your ideas...

I have it on my old laptop (which is actually the one I am using now) but I was thinking of uninstalling it.<br /><br />I have not used word perfect since the early 90&#039;s. I will say, though, that MS word is a piece of crap (but I think that generally for MS programs).

He was retrenched before Christmas (we live in Melbourne, Australia - he works in manufacturing). He has worked three casual jobs in that time and will start a permament job on Monday next week. I guess it depends on both your motivation, drive and skill, as well as luck....

They are OK most of the time, but when I have the windows down and am at 100km/h I can&#039;t hear anything at full volume. I also could be going deaf due to my work environment, who knows!

I'm curious mostly about the research and development stages.<br /><br />It depends on what you are doing. If you are making a flavour from scratch, then you need to have knowledge and training in the flavour industry (a science degree first, then training to become a flavourist). Once you have the knowledge you know what organic aroma chemical groups give certain...

(people please only answer who actually know about drinks who have worked in restaurant/cafe)<br /><br />A short black is just the shot of espresso (about 30ml). A macchiato is the short black but has a tiny amount of foamed milk added on top with a teaspoon. Both are served in a small (demitasse) cup. Yes, I worked in a cafe and made both. Too much of either will really leave you rushing!

Drink water prior to your drinking session and before you go to bed. Water in the morning as well. Water + paracetamol in the morning if you fail to imbibe water prior to your drinking session. Hangover usually equals dehydration.

If they are older then it is more of a mutual keeping in contact thing - go for it! Most of my friends are my family (inluding my 79 year old Nanna!). Mum and Dad aren&#039;t on it yet, but I would accept their friendship. My Nanna...

There are a bunch of people who would benefit from therapy but they would never admit it. Why do you think that is? Pride? Stigma of mental illness? What?<br /><br />I think in your question you address a couple of reasons, others would be (in my mind) an apparent fear on confronting ones own life and choices - and then having to do the hard yards to heal yourself. Also a fear of admitting &#039;weakness&#039; or a lack of ability to cope (even when no...

Before waiting 87.9 Celsius After waiting 75.6 Celsius<br /><br />The best way to do this is with a thermometer, boiling water, cold water and a timer. Any other way is just a hypothesis.

I think it is a combination of the MSG and the chemical used to make the vinegar taste (sodium diacetate - essentially solid salt and vinegar - very bitey!). I love to eat it on potato chips, but I hate the burnt tongue and sweatiness.

AFTER CALL I WAS ASKED2 SEND A MESSAGE 2 00447956324292 . CAN THIS BE TRUE?<br /><br />I seriously doubt it is true. You would most likely be charged a large amount to answer and send the message. Scams happen on mobile phones as well. If you did not enter a comptetion, how could you win it?

What's going on?<br /><br />Jerky twitchiness can be restless legs (a medical condition). See your doctor, lack of proper sleep can be really bad for you over the long term.

Being a real man and accepting your lot in life would be a good start. Try your best to get a job, if people really make an effort they can do it, it does take time (like fishing - a lot of hooks out and a while to catch one), but it can be done....

Even when people think they are not racist they may well be, but not realise it. You may well ask the same but substitute white for black, or asian or hispanic, or european, or middle-eastern. People often use difference between themselves to justify...

One or all?<br /><br />Mostly diligent, always punctual and timely, mostly honest and usually thoughtful. I manage my own time and always get all my work done, and I try to be pleasant to work with. Can only really try in the this life, but I recognise that work is just that work - family is more important.

Deal with your issues on your own. Maybe you caused the issue youself. Calling your ex a whore (even if she is) is not helpful for your own recovery or growth as a human. We all go through crap times. The way you deal with the crap times is what shows what...

How can I rectify this?<br /><br />By letting her know you are the parent and there are rules. You need to be consistent and patient. If she behaves badly there needs to be consequences and you need to uphold them. Speaking like that to an adult (especially your parent) is not right. She needs to know this before she gets any...

Generally if you know a bloke has a girlfriend then stay away. If he wanted you he would not be with his girlfriend!

I love cats, and there is no need to do this, it is not like they get a choice. Doing this to any animal would be cruel. Domestic animals depend on humans and we should not abuse that.

I panicked at bit after starting back at work last week after the Black Saturday fires in Victoria, Aus. We had some fire at my work, and all the Monday we were continuing to fight flare ups. That made me panic.

If you have a lawyer on your side that would help too I imagine. Even if your claim is valid the workplace may fight it.

This is really a closed question too. I can pad out if I want to, as I am now! :) Tue, 24 Feb 2009 00:21:04 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5686052 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5674022 Apart from Jesus, who were the other people in the Bible that were conceived through artifical insemination?<br /><br />Bloody loaded question.

I didn&#039;t have a &#039;high school sweetheart&#039; but I know a couple who have been married 10 years, and were together for 5 before that (started in high school).

What is so bad about it?<br /><br />They just look off to me. Sorry. I&#039;m not keen on G-Strings for anyone (G-string is an Aussie word, thongs are things for your feet here, as in flip-flops). An Aussie thong is OK on anyone =) Mon, 23 Feb 2009 01:40:50 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5673653 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5673642 If it is merely the act of homosexuality that is a sin, if two men or two women vow to remaind celibate, do you think they can then have the right to get married? Would it be okay for two heterosexuals to remain celibate and get married?<br /><br />From what I understand you are not really married until you consumate the marriage. Thus the question you ask is null and void due to this requirement! I reckon gay people should be able to marry. Marriage was a business thing when it first began. What it is now is not what it began as, which... Mon, 23 Feb 2009 01:37:17 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5673642 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5673615 Does anyone believe in fairies?

They do not essentially go &#039;off&#039;, they only get less intense in flavour and may also alter in their flavour. I would refer to the food laws in your country first.

The result in stopping the war was a good outcome, but the destruction was not a good outcome. People were fried into just their shadows - people who had no choice in the war. I also don&#039;t agree with the usage of nuclear weapons (or war in...

I found this to be very rude and offensive.<br /><br />I might complain about the manner of the staff, but not that you only have a limited time to shop. If you go in 10 min before closing, their clock might be faster than yours, and the worker may not get paid to work overtime. The manner of the staff is the thing. They can nicely say &#039;we...

I was told to pour into a container and keep in dark place but the book states to use only once.<br /><br />You can indeed use it more than once. Once it goes a slightly darker colour or if it smells a bit weird it will have oxidised and then it is time to change it. Straining it is a good idea to remove any food bits left over from the frying. Fresh oil keeps your food tasting better, but if you...

I guess it depends on how important AB is to the person and how well the people around them know that. A family member could easily join AB after the...

A positive and can-do attitude will take you a lot further than a negative one, but at the same time there are many things in life you cannot control. This means to me that the ability to cope with the ups and downs of life is more meaningful than anything else. If you can pick...

What would that criteria be?<br /><br />While it may seem that some people should not have kids, I think it is a dangerous road to go down in having other people decide who is OK and who is not OK to have kids. Who are the &#039;elite&#039; people that get to make these decisions, and what bias and personal prejudice would they bring...

My bf wont let me talk to my guy friends and if i do he fights with them and hits me later on. i hugged my best guy friends and he pushed him over a hill!!! Should i do something or just get over it?<br /><br />If he hits you, you are not being a baby, you are being abused. Leave him. His jealously has more to do with his own feelings of inadequacy and lack of ability to deal with it like an adult rather than anything you do at all. If you do leave him, he still won&#039;t learn, and will do this...

It is more prevalent in poorer societies of the western countries. If your country has a high rate of poor black people (as Australia and the US do) then it appears that black people are suffering more from diabetes. It is not related to race, only to diet and...
